Europe

PLEASE NOTE: Donations made to IRUSA’s Europe fund may serve urgent or long-term programs across Europe.

We were there during the worst of the war when our brothers and sisters needed our help to survive. We stayed by their side through decades on the long road to recovery. Today, we’re still there. Through our innovative programs, we are able to provide children in need and vulnerable families with the resources they need to thrive.

Our legacy of service has been able to grow through the support of dedicated IRUSA donors. From Bosnia to Albania, Chechnya to Kosovo, humanitarian aid is reaching our brothers and sisters who have struggled but thrived through unemployment, poverty, hunger, inter-ethnic violence, and war. Thank you for being there for them when we first started and for continuing to show them your compassion now.

129,000+ PEOPLE SERVED

29 PROJECTS

ALBANIA

Islamic Relief started working in Albania in 1991 after war and unrest had effectively isolated Albania and hampered already impoverished living conditions for millions of Albanians.

BOSNIA

Islamic Relief began working in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1992 to provide vital emergency assistance to the people during the Bosnian War. Islamic Relief was actually one of the first international, nongovernmental organizations to start delivering aid

CHECHNYA

Islamic Relief was one of the first aid agencies to assist Chechens affected by conflict in the mid-’90s and has been working in the Northern Caucasus since 1995. Islamic Relief responded immediately to help refugees—relief teams pitched tents

KOSOVO

Islamic Relief has played a major role in the postwar reconstruction and rehabilitation effort in Kosovo, and has been working in the area since 1999. The Islamic Relief Kosovo office later opened in the capital city of Pristina

MACEDONIA

In 2016, upwards of 140,000 asylum seekers arrived in Europe from Syria and Iraq causing a strain on logistics and crisis intervention for the entire region. Just between January and September 2017, one of out every six refugees were children
